well, you could do that, but you'd be wrong. 

neither the wiki page nor his statement ("only one situation requires
using MENU") in the email were correct.

thank you for helping to prove one of my points by providing yet another
demonstration that any form of feedback or criticism on the myth lists
will be attacked, no matter how it is written.

ps: you need to look up the word "diatribe" in a dictionary. whatever it
is that you *think* it means is wrong.


pps: apart from a bit of brown-nosing sycophantry, what was the actual
purpose of your reply? it didn't actually add anything, it didn't even
really say anything.

sadly, i suspect it is necessary to point out to you that that was what
is called a rhetorical question. that means there is no need for a
reply.
